The motto of this class is “Movement is change, and change is inevitable.”

Accepting this fact becomes a struggle for our human mind when it constantly seeks for permanency, and eventually we see the reflection of this struggle in our body. Then the question arises: “How to deal with change in our everyday life? How does this affect my body?” In this class, we will explore this question through learning to listen to our body.

Movement Lab aims to create a supportive environment for exploring movement possibilities by cultivating body awareness. The instructor, Ilgaz Ulusoy Casey, facilitates this class based on Irmgard Bartenieff’s somatic principles. These principles are framed around exercises called Bartenieff Fundamentals which explores repatterning connectivity in the body by focusing on efficient movement functioning, and encouraging personal expression.

All adults with different abilities, bodies, ages are welcome to this 1-hour long movement jam! Only requirement is your willingness to have fun and be curious!

In this series of workshop you will have the tools:

-to help you gain strength for change through your authentic voice and movement
-to embody your uniqueness fully in your own body language
-to increase your capacity for functional and expressive movement

Many new parents experience changes in their relationship and intimacy after adding children to their family. The logistics and time constraints are difficult enough, but we also have so much else to contend with: pressure to ‘bounce back’, the intersection of old habits and new preferences, and, for some, pelvic pain or prolapse.

Or maybe sex and intimacy have always felt difficult for you. Sex is a charged subject. Even if we’re all adults who can logically think “I’d like to enjoy an intimate evening with my partner,” we still carry around societal norms and expectations, ideas about sex from our family of origin or religion, plus our own history. It’s A LOT.

Navigating our nervous system responses- like freeze, flight, or fawn- on top of the expectations that you may feel within a relationship, and potential miscommunications, can make sex seem nearly overwhelming.

During this experiential workshop we will explore the topics of intimacy, connection, and embodiment. We slow down, explore communication, and discover how to find pleasure within intimacy.

We’re not going to solve it all, but we are going to get into our bodies and start the journey.

We’ll be using the Wheel of Consent, movement exercises, playfulness, and frank talk to build our container.

This workshop open to both individuals and couples.

Join Caitlin McWilliams (Wellness with Cait) on the 4th of each month (Feb-May) from 5-6pm for Trauma-Informed Embodied Yoga.

Yoga can be a supportive practice that helps trauma survivors recalibrate the nervous system especially when taught in an intentional and trauma-informed fashion.

What makes Trauma-Informed Embodied Yoga different from a traditional yoga class? Trauma-informed yoga is an approach to creating a safe, sensitive space in which students can learn nervous system regulation skills through movement, gentle tracking of sensations in the body, mindfulness techniques and play.

*Space is limited to 10; please reserve your space in advance

Empowering You: Ever wonder why no one seems to understand you? Do you wish more people would listen to you? Does it feel like you are not having the impact in your life that you know deep inside is possible? There is so much change afoot in the world – do you want to take the lead in affecting that change or just be an innocent bystander?

Would you like to have better, more connected, more authentic and real relationships? We are missing a context for our inter-relationships, that once understood, will dramatically change how you see and be with the people in the world around you.

Join us for the experience of identifying your Natural Energy!

Learning to Activate all nine Natural Energies in your body gives you access to a wealth of information and experience. It expands your perceptive abilities to include an awareness of how you and people of other Natural Energies take in information using their bodies. Learning when and how to use the other activations illuminates what is in your body and what it can do. These activations help you get more physically, emotionally and relationally present giving you a deeper connection to your fundamental consciousness.

This workshop will introduce all 9 Natural Energies. It is also a great introduction to our Advanced Activation Training. This workshop is open to anyone and can be attended independently, or as part of the Advanced Training.

Expanding your awareness and ability to use the other Natural Energies moves you from fixity to flow, enabling you to respond to life, the changes and challenges, with more grace and ease, freeing you from your unconscious beliefs, preparing you to make informed choices. It provides access to your personal power through awareness of how to use your body.

This Seminar is designed to support participants in:
Identifying and understanding your own Natural Energy and how to enhance your functioning/performance by conscious activation.
Review of the attributes, skills and value sets of each Natural Energy and understanding the impact of each.
Having a conscious experience (seeing, hearing, feeling, experiencing) of the diversity of the Natural Energies present in others attending the seminar.
